Definitely Icebreaker and yeah...lol
I might just bank my coins and wait too, I don't have Icebreaker. I'm lvl 3 with New Monarchy, might just grind the rest of my marks and buy the Vanquisher. I'm already using Invective for now in my secondary slot anyway.
Start patrol mode on Earth, go to where it spawns in the Devil's Lair strike. It'll be there. Kill it, return to orbit, repeat.
Go to patrol cosmodrome and ride to the strike area, the walker spawns there in patrol too. It's an instanced area so if you're solo, only you will be there so no one can take the kill.
If you're running through during, or near a devil walker event time, you can give that a shot too. Then just run on to the strike area afterward.

My Titan 27 last night, looking forward to a weekend of couch time, need to start up on Vanguard rep to get it to 3 for legendary weapons...but tonight I have inventory at work. Not in the mood for counting shit. Might also work on my lvl10 hunter, he's got some gear waiting for him at level 20.
Question on exotic engrams, I'm assuming they they're the only engrams that actually turn into the item they represent? ie: exotic shoulder engram will always yield an exotic shoulder?

switching weapons loses ammo, so theres that at least too
I did two by just going to the area in the strike on patrol. Then did another in the public event close by. Someone said they did all three pretty quick with the first option but I had to wait a bit before he popped back.
Question: If my light level is 28 and the mob I am attacking is 27 (and for arguments sake, I will never fight another mob above 27), is it even worth it to upgrade your legendary/exotic weapons once you've unlocked the last non-attack perk?
Since attack rating is simply a level pen stat, it will never increase my damage since I, theoretically, will never attack someone equal or higher level than me.
(I know this is not the case if you go into nightfall/highest level heroics, raid/heroic raid or iron banner you will fight higher/equal level enemies even at lvl 30, just making a hypothetical to get clarification.)
jump on sparrow, patrol to the walker you fight in devils lair, it's a darkness zone i believe, so if you're not in a fireteam you got it all to yourself.
Return to orbit, repeat twice more
im 2 coins short of suros. I dont know whether to bother either. Hardlight is turning into a beast now ive upgraded it a bit. Just need that stability upgrade and itll be like a mini gun.
That and hardlight just looks way better.
might save my coins and pray for handcannon next week
Only 2? Good luck. I got them from weekly, PVP rewards and random drops.

Going from 2 to what you need in the time you have would require some incredible RNG. You'll only end up disappointed. If you want to try, you're first stop is lvl28 weekly heroic.

The crucible will be quite funny now will all the Suros spam. My Handcannon will show you the error of your ways.

Really? Sigh I think I might go Hard Light still since I just like the look of it better. Plus I do not have the money for Suros anyway
You don't have to wait if you go to orbit. Just orbit, jump on sparrow and get back there =p

Is Xur the Resident Evil Salesman up already? I can't seem to find him
little advice needed: i skipped vanguard and went straight FWC for rep. but, with my on-going connectivity issues in crucible, i'm mostly playing pve. would vanguard level quicker in pve? if so, do i need to reach vanguard level 1 to even get a vanguard item to rep them? i'm unable to buy anything from them except an emblem.
Ones that I know of so far:
- Weekly Heroic Strike (Level 28) - 9 strange coins
- Weekly Nightfall Strike - Chance at 6-9 strange coins as one of the rewards
- Public Events (Random Chance)
- Blue Engrams and above (Random Chance)
- Chest farming (Random Chance)
- Strikes (Random Chance)
- Crucible (Random Chance)

I can not take this anymore.
I have been stuck on Level 24 for the past week and not only can I do enough strikes per day, I also do not get great drops any longer.
Bungie needs to change the toughness of leveling and actually make strikes worth my goddamn time.

It won't increase your damage against level 28 or lower targets, no. Attack only mitigates the level penalty of attacking higher level targets (which is quite severe and I think starts at ~30% for enemies 1 level higher than you, goes up by 10% per level difference beyond that then prevents any damage at 4+ level difference).

If you don't already have an exotic armor piece and you want to use the helm available for the long term, get that. Otherwise your first priority should be an exotic armor piece that you want to keep so saving your coins might be most beneficial.
You rep them just by removing the rep item of a faction, vangard is the default.

My character must have tongue banged the Cryptarch's [closeted lesbian] wife or something, because dude has been decrypting nothing but turds and other useless piles of matter. The last 6 or 7 legendary Engrams I've taken to him have all been weak & rare or legendary & out of class. The exotic engram I got from Xur was actually exotic.....for a Warlock.
Fuck you Cryptarch!

No need to do that. Just do the Level 28 for 9 coins.

I was afraid this day would come. I really enjoy PvP but giving out a gun like Suros/Last Word for coins is bound to tip the scales into chaos in the crucible. I'll wait till I play a few games to pass judgement on balance but I'm hoping I can still compete with a Shingen/Galahad
You have to get the killing blow or be in close proximity to whoever does. I think Bungie said they're working to fix it.
You have to get the final hit on the walker for it to count.
Did not know about this, thanks.

Subete no aware
No idea, but it drops in addition to the armor piece. You'll get both if it drops.
The piece it drops is random. Gotta keep doing it until you get the chest piece.

Wow, Xur is really hiding this week!
You don't need an item to represent vanguard. You just need to not be wearing a faction item. Strike playlist, vanguard bounties and patrol missions all give vanguard rep by default.
Faction items turn that vanguard rep into faction rep. So leveling a faction is "easier" since everything can count for it. But since only crucible marks work for factions, your vanguard marks would be collecting dust(or capping) if you don't also increase your vanguard rank to spend them.
Thanks - that is how I understood it, just wanted to make sure.
Why are you doing Strikes? They're inferior to Public Events / Patrols / Bounties for marks and rep.
It is currently bugged and not rewarding credit for standard damage assists. You will only get credit for either landing the killing blow yourself, or being in close enough proximity to the player that does. Given how far players tend to spread out in this encounter you aren't likely to have the latter occur unless you know this beforehand.
For all the hate Bungie gets, I do think folks neglect to consider their track record. The game is flawed to high heaven and Bungie knows this, and I don't think Bungie would've released the game in its current state if given a choice. After seeing that video of a skirmish team winning simply by suiciding and reviving each other faster than they could be killed, I knew the game hadn't been given the TLC it needed. These are the folks that made the Halo series - they should never have messed up that badly within a competitive multiplayer mode. It's jarring such an exploit exists in the domain Bungie helped make popular and refined on the Xbox.
You'd think someone would sit down and play the game they made, or watch testers play, or even have testers to begin with. Bungie has fumbled around a lot this first month, and have used hot fixes and bandages to remedy their missteps, but with the removal of Ascendant materials from dissembled queen legendary gear, it's become more evident content has been planned with little idea on ramifications, regardless if these consequenecs contradict practices already in the game. As far as the Queen event goes, of course high level players were going to dissemble the queen gear. High level people most likely had better gear than the Queen gear. And if some of thse high level people thought the Queen gear looked hideous with the purple and garrish symbol, they weren't going to keep the gear. Besides, the Queen gear given to players were for their specific class, and unless someone really wanted to roll two of the same class, dissembling was the only option and provided more incentive than keeping them in the vault to take up space.
This game had to have been rushed. Bungie's actions this month has the evidence everywhere, and in its current state, Destiny won't last 10 years as a franchise - but that's a call that would be more suited to be made a few months down the line, maybe after one or two expansion packs are released. That said, the nature of how expansion packs were already announced again goes along with the idea the game was rushed into fulfilling a time frame, going by the generic schedule of getting players hyped that future content would be ready for the game they'd love so much. However, nobody completely loves this game and we're all here hoping it gets the fixes it needs because we do find some goodness in it, and I think that's where Bungie had the most time to put effort in, such as the combat and the raid itself despite its bugs.
All of this said, I have no idea what Activision expected. This game isn't as insulting as Diablo 3 was with how it was released to accomodate for the auction house, but as a friend said to be describing Destiny, it's rude. Destiny is rude because the sort of padding the game has to keep people from accelerating is ridiculous RNG that even gets more ridiculous late game when you have to wait a week before shooting a dice as opposed to trying for another shot at gear every 10 or 15 minutes with a strike or a mission. This sort of game I'm playing after the first 20 hours is different from the initial game, but it's just as messed up and worse in some cases.
Perhaps Destiny was doomed from the get-go. The game manages to fulfill my raid fix, which is a success in itself. The raid is fun despite the fact RNG determines who gets what loot, but it blows how I'm interested in doing the raid on heroic but again, I'm at the mercy of RNG to give me the gear I need to do so despite the fact that I know how to clear every part of the raid and explain it well to people who don't. This game rewards higher difficulties with RNG mixed with higher stakes and huge delays that produce higher rewards. The better you are at Destiny, the longer you have to wait to get a chance to get better items. That, to me as somene who loves raiding, sucks so much.
tl;dr - Activision y u do dis

That what I was thinking too... I won't waste my coins in a AR that didn't play better than the one I have
The weapons are really close the differences in my view are:
Suros: better impact and range
Hard Light: better damage and fire-rate
Both have a special skill to give a damage bonus (Suros when aim and Hard Light with all half of the ammo clip).

You seem to only get credit if you get the last hit or standing right next to the guy who got the last hit. I suggest just going to earth patrol, run to the area where the devil walker normally is and solo him.
Hmm the Suros Regime is tempting... but I wouldn't be able to use my Last Word. I think my Last Word/Doctor Nope combo is preferable. Right?
For the record, I really don't think exotic weapons should ever be on sale for any price. These should be rare. Now EVERYONE is going to be rocking a Suros Regime.
